They Were Gong Home.

Dakota Bell.
They were a queer-lookingss little
group, and sat over in the Omaha de-
pot. They had come in on the night
train and were waiting to go west.
There were four of them, care
worn but kindly looking man and
three children, the oldest not over
eight or nine, and the youngest lit
tie thing who could not have seen
more than three years of life.
"I'm tired of riding on the cars !;
when will we get home, papa 7" ask
ed the Oldest one, boy.
eve will be there tonight, Eand
then you can rest" s ss....
II wonder IL Z .;e'll know us ~
asked his sister, the next in size.
"Oh, guess So" replied the faith
er.
'How long have / been gone, pa
pa u" continued the littlefgirl.
ooh, as much as a month"
"Kittie'll fink we're never-.comiu-
back, won't she papa?n
"Shell be all right while we're
away"
81 guess she'll be pity glad to see
us, and it won't be twite so lonoscr ,
there if Kittie hasn't ruined away,
will it, papaT'
II don't know-or no, l suppose
it won't-don't talk about its be'ng
lonesome, Nellie" - ~
"I's tired an / want to see man.
ma. Will / see mamma wen I dts
home ~ asked the smallest one rs he
climbed up On his fathers leg.
'No mamma won't be the J." and
the care-worn man looked even more
sad "your mamma has gone away.
There, { ut cry now, little one we
will be home pretty soon"
"But it will be so lonesome there,
won't it papa ?" said the little girl,
taking up the conversation where
she left it, "because mamma won't
be there, and we'll be all alone, ex-
cept Kitty, and / want to talk bout
it's being lo1- ONE and about mann
ma COS / won't see her again, why
can't l, papa 2" He could not an
swer, but lifted her to his lap and
held them both very closely, and
the boy moved nearer, and they all
sat very still and thought of the
lonely prairie home they were going
back to, even if they said nothing.

Nervous Dyspepsia Is a COM
paratively neao disease, growing
out of the conditions of modern
life. 1t is a joint affection OF
the digestive organs and OF the
nervous SYSTEM. These two
were formerly treated as sepa-
rate ailments, and it was left
for the clear-sighted Shakers
to prove that the basis of this
terrible and often fatal compli-'
cation lies chiefly in the disord-
cred and depraved functions of
digestion and nutrition. They,
reasoned thus:-"If we can in,
duce the stomach to do its.
work, and stimulate the excre-
tive organs to drive out of the
body the poisonous waste mat,
